I don't know why AJA would recommend dual processors for a minimum spec. From a CineForm standpoint we use the AJA LHe card all day long on single-chip Core 2 Duo processor such as the E6700 without a hitch, and we're using the CPU much more than AJA does because we are compressing the data.

If you want a system that supports both compressed (CineForm software) and uncompressed (AJA software) you should make sure the system you have supports the minimum specs for both. But I guess I'd ask AJA why they recommend a dual processor system for uncompressed work.
